Join the fight against the radical pro-abortion agenda.

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) represents the most serious
legislative threat to unborn children ever!
Join the fight against the radical pro-abortion agenda.
The Catholic bishops of the United States have launched a massive postcard/e-mail campaign urging Congress to:
- maintain widely-supported pro-life laws
- oppose the federal funding and promotion of abortion.
Why is our pro-life voice needed now?
- Congress has the most pro-abortion members in 16 years?and abortion advocates are newly energized. Their radical agenda goes beyond Roe v. Wade, and seeks to turn abortion into a fundamental ?right? that the government would have to subsidize with taxpayer monies.
- If the well-funded abortion lobby succeeds, abortion will become?for the first time in our country?s history?a government entitlement.
- One such effort was fought back successfully when the bishops mobilized the Catholic faithful in their 1993 postcard campaign against the so-called ?Freedom of Choice Act? (FOCA). Recent sponsors of FOCA plan to introduce a similar bill soon?and President Obama has promised to sign it if it reaches his desk.
- While FOCA would achieve the abortion promotion agenda all at once, other bills could accomplish the same agenda in a piecemeal fashion. Widely supported pro-life measures in the annual appropriations bills are already at risk.
- Recent polling shows that Americans strongly support laws limiting or regulating abortion, including laws honoring parental involvement in a minor daughter?s abortion decision, laws upholding the conscience rights of health care professionals, limits on abortion funding, and bans on partial-birth abortion.
- To guard against the erosion of current pro-life measures?and to keep abortion from becoming a federal entitlement?our voice is needed now more than ever.
- Add your voice to the millions of citizens urging our government to ?oppose FOCA or any similar measure, and retain laws against federal funding and promotion of abortion.? As pro-life messages start flooding in from their constituents, members of Congress will see that they should avoid dividing our nation with policies that offend the pro-life values of the majority of Americans.

Our country is in dire shape on so many levels, but one thing to remember is that our God is greater than any evil that we can face! Fighting the good fight! The fight to preserve humanity is a good fight! We are on the right side, God is using people to stand for those who cannot stand alone. The way we engage others and love is of the utmost importance so the cause for Christ is not injured. Friends we need to engage our community in order to reach the ones who need God the most. Though we may be imperfect in our approach many times, we must press on toward the goal of the gospel and community. The Bible says that it is through God's kindness we repent. Bless Gabriel's Corner!
